What exactly is a Catalog, and why has it become such a critical component of the modern Lakehouse architecture and AI workloads? In this episode, we break down the differences between technical catalogs (metastores) and business catalogs, explore how catalogs enable governance and interoperability, and explain why the Iceberg REST Catalog specification became the open standard for sharing Iceberg tables across platforms without vendor lock-in.
